EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1878, capturing a moment of sheer chaos and despair on the stormy Atlantic Ocean. The wood engraving depicts the ill-fated sailing ship A. S. Davis as it runs ashore eight miles south of Cape Henry, Virginia. The scene is one of utter devastation, with crashing waves and dark clouds looming overhead. The artist skillfully conveys the intensity of this maritime disaster through intricate details in their engraving technique. Every line etched into the wood tells a story of struggle and survival against nature's wrath. It serves as a haunting reminder of the dangers faced by sailors during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we can't help but feel a sense of empathy for those onboard who experienced this harrowing event firsthand. Their lives were forever changed by this shipwreck, serving as a testament to both human resilience and vulnerability in the face of Mother Nature's fury.
